Wanted: One Mommy

The Lone Star Dads Club #4

by Cathy Gillen Thacker

Caroline Mayer has made a successful career out of planning everybody's wedding but her own. But this is the first time she's been asked to stop one!

Jack Gaines is certain his mother's impending nuptials are a big mistake. The take-charge CEO is too smart to believe in happy endings. His matchmaking mom and young daughter don't agree! And his instant attraction to Caroline is making the single father wonder if he's really a romantic at heart after all.

Caroline never planned on falling in love with Jack's family. And now his lively little girl is making her think twice about putting her own dreams of motherhood on hold.

Chemistry aside--is Caroline ready to trust her future to one stubborn, overprotective, utterly irresistible Texan?

About the author

Dear Readers,

The love stories in my family have always been fodder for romance novels.

My maternal grandmother and grandfather simultaneously ran a business together and raised four daughters, long before it was an accepted thing to do.  Grandpa O’Dell ran the gas station and the barber shop; Grandma O’Dell managed the grocery and cooked for customers.  They were true partners and madly in love and parted, tragically, way too soon when he succumbed to cancer when he was in his early fifties.  Grandma grieved deeply but eventually picked herself up, started a new career as a cafeteria chef, and eventually found deep romantic love and happiness again, in the form of a second marriage.

This is the first book I read by Cathy Gillen Thacker. It's a very cute, loving, romance story. I really like how Caroline stood up to Jack when they first met. I really liked how Caroline didn't let Jack stop her from planning his mom's wedding. The only thing that annoyed about this story is Jack didn't stop meddling in his mom's love life. I would read more books by this author.
